Book of the Moment

Lloyd Kahn published his now-classic book Shelter in the year of my birth - 1973. Thirty-one years later, his sequel Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter follows the example of the original, featuring "new and even more imaginative ways to put a roof over your head."

From the book description:
For many, modern life has created a physical and spiritual detachment from the earth. Home Work shows the ingenious ways people from around the world have plugged back in, providing ideas, drawings, tips and inspiration for builders, designers, artists, homebuilders and dreamers alike to incorporate into building their own personalized shelter, wherever their home is. More than simply a house design book, Home Work is about being in touch with one's nature and nature itself, and in doing so, satisfying basic needs from survival to self-expression.
